At Home. 



I^HK ringing bells call me to Thy 
house, O Lord, on this day set 
apart for Thy worship. 

All days are Thine, O Lord, and in all 
the ways of life, and in all places, I 
may truly adore Thee. 

But on this day, and in Thy House, 
where Thy people assemble in Thy name 
to honor Thee and to hear Thy Word, 
there are treasures of grace and strength

and peace for all the other days and for 
all the other duties of life. 

Therefore, O Lord, hear Thy servant, 
who now goes forth for this blessed 
season of public devotion and instruc- 
tion. 

I surrender myself to Thee ; I leave 
behind me all worldly cares and studies; 
I go to Thy House to join with Thy peo- 
ple in loving and reverent devotion, and 
as we shall together praise Thy name, 
hear Thy Word, plead Thy promises, and 
consecrate ourselves to Thy constant 
service, do Thou pour out upon us, O 
Holy Father, Thy blessed Holy Spirit, 
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Aynen,

The Preparation. 



TE go to the House of God for 
[jkl,^ thoughtful, holy, and loving 
worship, and not for entertainment or 
to gratify curiosit3^ 

Every moment spent there should be 
spent in true worship. 

We should listen carefully to the 
reading of the Holy Scriptures ; join in 
the responses where this order is ap- 
pointed; follow with eager and believ- 
ing hearts the words of prayer ; sing 
heartily *' as unto the IvOrd," and give 
devout and self-appropriating heed to 
the sermon. From the first note of the

organ voluntary to the "Amen" of the 
benediction we should be alert, ardent 
sincere worshipers. 

There are moments of waiting before 
the service, and sometimes while people 
are entering the Church, and when the 
appointed officers are taking the col- 
lection, which are too often made oc- 
casions of idle revery, vagrant glances, 
wandering thoughts, and unprofitable 
conversation. At such times the mind 
is distracted, the good effects of prayer 
and preaching neutralized, and the soul 
turned into a secular and hardened 
wayside, where the seeds of truth are 
scattered, to be picked up or to be blown 
away. 

# It 



IX 



Now, these moments of waiting should 
form a season and a service of holy 
waiting before the Lord, and of prepa- 
ration for attention and worship. 

To keep idle thoughts out, we must 
crowd good thoughts in. To restrain 
frivolity, we must weigh our souls down 
with truth — God's truth. To prevent 
wandering eyes, we must fix our eyes 
upon words of wisdom on the printed 
page, and then close them in secret 
prayer. 

That our waiting may indeed prove a 
holy waiting, these pages are prepared 
for young people especially, but for all 
people who wash to cultivate a reverent 
spirit in the House of God and to gain

the greatest good from the public wor- 
ship of God. 

That the services of the Church may- 
be most profitable, we should carefully 
prepare at home to make the best use of 
the public opportunity. We should 
meditate and pray before going and 
while we are on our way. We should 
frequently, during the week, think of 
the Church and the Sabbath, and, by 
reading, thoughtfulness, and fervent 
prayer, make the day and the service 
the more helpful when Sabbath comes. 



B 



A FEW RULES, 

1. Go early to Church. Not only be 
punctual, but be in your place before 
the hour for the service is announced 
to begin. Then you will not disturb 
other worshipers. 

2. Go in a reverent spirit. On the 
way remember whither you go. Avoid 
lightness of manner and conversation 
on worldly topics. 

3. Before you enter, and as you enter 
the Church, breathe a silent prayer of 
invocation for the influence of the Holy 
Spirit. 

4. As you take your place, bow your 
head reverently in prayer for yourself 



"li 



and for all others who enter the sanc- 
tuary for the service about to begin. 

5. Resolve that you will foster no 
thought, fix your eyes on no object, ut- 
ter no word that will tend to divert 
your mind from the holy purpose for 
which you have come into this place. 

6. Open and read as many selections 
as you have opportunity to read atten- 
tively from this little volume. Espe- 
cially read " The Approach " and " First 
Thoughts in the Sanctuary." 

7. As the minister enters the pulpit, 
offer an earnest, silent prayer in his 
behalf. 

8. In all the service take an active 
part ; as hearer, as worshiper. 



.i^ 



9. Of course you will not use this lit- 
tle manual during any part of the exer- 
cises to which you should give attention. 

10. At the close of the service, after a 
moment of prayerful silence, greet with 
cheerfulness and good-will all whom 
you happen to meet, remembering that 
Christian fellowship is a part of Chris- 
tian worship. 



* Now to the Father in glory supernal, 
Now to the Son and the Spirit above, 
Now to the Triune, all holy, eternal. 
Worship be ever, in truth and in love.

First Thoughts in the Sanc- 
tuary. 



lyiHlS is Thy House, O Lord God, 
Everlasting King, our Father who 
art in Heaven. 

I come now. Thy creature and Thy 
child, to spend a brief space of time in 
thoughts about Thee, and in prayer to 
Thee. 

I come, to show to the world, by my 
presence and by my conduct, that I do 
acknowledge Thee as Lord, King, and 
Father, and that I desire to serve and 
to love Thee. 

I come to hear Thy Word read and ex-

plained and applied, that Thy truth may 
make me wise unto salvation, and that 
it may build me up in the most holy 
faith. 

I come to worship Thee in praise and 
prayer, confessing my sins to Thee, 
asking Thy pardon, and seeking the 
grace I need, that I may live a godly, 
righteous, and sober life, to the glory of 
Thy holy name. 

I come to join with others, my fellow^ 
Christians, my friends, and neighbors, 
in this holy service, that we may all be 
brought nearer to each other, by being 
brought nearer to Thee.

be filled with the fullness of Thy

grace, and fitted to be a temple for 
the constant indwelling of Thy Holy

uncertainties and possibilities that hide 
themselves within it.

To dedicate myself to Thee.

One thought shall fill my soul with joy: 
That silent, secret thought shall be, 
That all my hopes are fixed on Thee. 

Thy glorious eye pervadeth space ; 
Thy presence, lyord, fills every place ; 
And wheresoe'er my lot may be, 
Still shall my spirit cleave to Thee.

Renouncing every worldly thing, 
And safe beneath Thy spreading wing.

And kindness o'er Thy lips is shed ; 

Lovely art Thou, and full of grace. 
And glor}^ beams around Thy head. 

Thy sufferings I embrace with Thee, 
Thy povert}^ and shameful cross ; 

The pleasures of the world I flee, 
And deem its treasurers only dross. 

Be daily dearer to my heart. 

And ever let me feel Thee near ; 

Then willingly with all I 'd part, 
Nor count it worth}^ of a tear.

HOLY Doctrines. 



[The Substance of Christian Doctrine.] 

ff^N the beginning God created the 
,=■1 heaven and the earth. . . . God 
created man in His own image, in the 
image of God created He him. . . . 
All have sinned and come short of the 
glory of God. . . . The wrath of 
God is revealed from heaven against all 
ungodliness and unrighteousness of 
men who hold the truth in unright- 
eousness. . . . God so loved the world 
that He^gave His only begotten Son that 
whosoever believeth in Him should not 
perish, but have everlasting life. . . .

God, who commanded the light to shine 
out of darkness, hath shined in our 
hearts to give the light of the knowl- 
edge of the glory of God in the face of 
Jesus Christ. . . . What are these 
which are arrayed in white robes, and 
whence come they? . . . These are 
they which have come up out of great 
tribulation, and have washed their robes 
and made them white in the blood of 
the Lamb. Therefore are they before 
the throne of God, and serve Him day 
and night in His temple, and He that 
sitteth on the throne shall dwell among 
them.

THE APOSTLES' CREED. 

I BKI.IEVE in God the Father Almighty, 
Maker of heaven and earth ; and in Jesus 
Christ His only Son our Lord ; who was 
conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of 
the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius 
Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; 
the third day He rose from the dead; 
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on 
the right hand of God the Father Al- 
mighty; from thence He shall come to 
judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy 
catholic Church ; the communion of 
saints ; the forgiveness of sins ; the res- 
urrection of the body; and the life 
everlasting. Amen.

The lyord of glory dies for man ! 

But lo ! what sudden joy we see, 
Jesus, the dead, revives again ! 

The rising God forsakes the tomb ; 

In vain the tomb forbids His rise ; 
Cherubic legions guard Him home, 

And shout Him welcome to the skies.

THE TEN DOCTRINES OF GRACE. 

1. I BEi^iE^vE that all men are sinners. 

2. I believe that God the Father loves 
all men and hates~"all sin. 

3. I believe that Jesus Christ died for 
all men to make possible their salvation 
from sin, and to make sure the salva- 
tion of all who believe in Him. 

4. I believe that the Holy Spirit is 
given to all men to enlighten and to in- 
cline them to repent of their sins, and 
to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. 

5. I believe that all who repent of 
their sins and believe in the Lord Jesus 
Christ receive the forgiveness of sin. 
[This is justification.] 



'Ak 



3B tI}B :|r)Ia Batting. 

6. I believe that all who receive the 
forgiveness of sin are at the same time 
made new creatures in Jesus Christ. 
[This is regeneration.] 

7. I believe that all who are made 
new creatures in Christ Jesus are ac- 
cepted as the children of God. [This is 
adoption.] 

8. I believe that all who are accepted 
as the children of God may receive the in- 
ward assurance of the Holy Spirit to that 
fact. [This is the witness of the Spirit.] 

9. I believe that all who truly desire 
and seek it ma}^ love God w^ith all their 
heart and soul, mind and strength, and 
their neighbor as themselves. [This is 
entire sanctification.]

A SCRIPTURAL CREED. 

Prepared by Dr. J. W. Bashford. 
1. GOD. 
I believe that there is '' one God and 
Father of all, who is over all, and 
through all, and in all." Bph. 4 : 6. 
2. JESUS CHRIST. 
I believe that Jesus Christ is "the 
Son of God," and that He "came into 
the world to save sinners." Matt. 14: 
33 ; I Tim. i : 15. 



W 



40 SIftB f I3lg BaxKttg, 

3. THE HOLY SPIRIT. 
I believe that the Holy Ghost is " the 
Spirit of truth," who "convicteth the 
world of sin, and of righteousness, and 
of judgment," and " abideth with His 
disciples." John 14: 26 ; i6: 8; 14 : 17. 

4. THE BIBLE. 
I believe that the Bible " is able to 
make us wise unto salvation through 
faith which is in Christ Jesus." 11 Tim. 

3: 15. 

5. MAN. 

I believe that "God created man in 
His own image ;" but *' that all have 
sinned and fall short of the glory of 
God." Gen. i : 27 ; Rom. 3 : 23. 



t4:. 



6. JUSTIFICATION. 
I believe that God *' commandetli men 
that they should all everywhere repent ;" 
and that ** if we confess our sins, He is 
faithful and righteous to forgive us our 
sins, and to cleanse us from all un- 
righteousness." 

7. FAITH AND WORKS. 

I believe that "by grace we are saved 

through faith;" but that "faith apart 

from works is dead." Bph. 2:8; James 

2: 26. 

8. THE CHURCH. 

I believe in " the Church of the liv- 
ing God, the pillar and ground of the 
Truth." I Tim. 3:15.

9. JUDGMENT. 
I believe that '' we must all be made 
manifest before the judgment seat of 
Christ ; that each one may receive the 
things done in the body, according to 
what he hath done, whether it be good 
or bad." 2 Cor. 5 : 10. 

10. TRIUMPH OF CHRIST. 
I believe that the earth " shall be full 

of the knowledge of the Lord, as the 
waters cover the sea;" ''and that every 
tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ 
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." 
Is. 11: 9; Phil. 2 : II.

Baptism. 



<!^N this Sacrament I see the symbol 
^Z of the opening heaven, the de- 
scending dove, the Father's voice of 
recognition : " This is My child." 

In this Sacrament I see the begin- 
ning of the new life and of the new 
career, the preparation for new tempta- 
tions, the pledge of divine grace to sus- 
tain. 

In this Sacrament I see the open door 
of the visible Church," the badge of 
membership in it, the pledge of loyalty 
to Christ.

THE COVENANT. 

I RENOUNCE the devil aud all his 
works, the vain pomp and glory of the 
world, W'ith all covetous desires of the 
same, and the carnal desires of the flesh, 
so that I will not follow nor be led by 
them. 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 
Maker of heaven and earth ; and in 
Jesus Christ His only Son our I^ord; 
w^ho was conceived by the Holy Ghost, 



SLItb j|oIa Dattxng. 47 

born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under 
Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead, and 
buried; the third day He rose from the 
dead; He ascended into heaven, and 
sitteth on the right hand of God the 
Father Almighty ; from thence He shall 
come to judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost ; the holy 
catholic Church; the communion of 
saints ; the forgiveness of sins ; the res- 
urrection of the body, and the life ever- 
lasting. Amen. 

Having been baptized in this faith, I 
will obediently keep God's holy will and 
commandments, and walk in the same 
all the days of my life, God being my 
helper.

The Sacrament of the Lord's 
Supper. 



/^^IIIS Holy Feast was appointed by 
^^^ the Lord Jesus Clirist as a perpet- 
ual memorial of Himself. 

It is a Feast of Remembrance, of 
Hope, of Consecration, and of Grace. 

There are no mere Ritualistic Mys- 
teries connected with it. 

Our Lord instituted this blessed Feast 
with the holy purpose of perpetuating 
through all the ages, in visible form by 
His Church, the fact of His death, and 
of His death for us as a Redeemer from 
the guilt and power of sin.

Our Lord instituted it that His fol- 
lowers might look forward to their re- 
union with Him in the Eternal Heavens, 

Our Lord instituted it that it might 
afford an opportunity for the renewed 
consecration to His service of those who 
hear His name, that thus they may de- 
clare to the. world their love and loyalty 
to Him, the true brotherhood of be- 
lievers on the earth. 

Our Lord instituted it that through 
its humble and believing observance 
the gracious influence of His Spirit 
may be shed upon the true believer. 

Blessed, holy Feast! May I partake 
of it this day with true repentance and 
true faith !

THE CONFESSION. 

Ai^MiGHTY God, Father of our Lord 
Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge 
of all men ; we acknowledge and bewail 
our manifold sins and wickedness, w^hich 
we from time to time most grievously 
have committed, by thought, word, and 
deed, against Thy Divine Majesty, pro- 
voking most justly Thy wrath and in- 
dignation against us. We do earnestly 
repent, and are heartily sorry for these 
our misdoings ; the remembrance of 
them is grievous unto us. Have mercy 
upon us, have mercy upon us, most 
merciful Father ; for Thy Son, our Lord 
Jesus Christ's sake, forgive us all that is

THE SELF-EXAMINATION. 

Do I truly and earnestly repent of my 
sins ? 

Am I in love and charity with my 
neighbors ? 

Do I intend to lead a new life, follow-

walking from henceforth in His holy 
ways? 

Help me then, O Lord, to draw near 
with faith, and take this Holy Sacrament

I MOST humbly beseech Thee, O

Thy almighty goodness vouchsafe to 
bless and sanctify with Thy Word and 
Holy Spirit these Thy creatures of bread 
and wine according to Thy Son our 
Savior Jesus Christ's holy institution, in 
remembrance of His death and passion, 
and to grant that I may be a partaker 
of His most blessed body and blood.

Lo, the feast is spread to-day ! 

Jesus summons, come away ! 

From the vanity of life, 

From the sounds of mirth or strife, 

To the feast by Jesus given, 

Come and taste the Bread of Heaven. 

Why, with proud excuse and vain, 
Spurn His mercy once again ? 
From amidst life's social ties, 
From the farm and merchandise, 
Come, for all is now prepared ; 
Freely given, be freely shared. 

Blessed are the lips that taste 
Our Redeemer's marriage feast; 
Blessed who on Him shall feed, 
Bread of life and drink indeed ; 
Blessed, for their thirst is o'er, 
They shall never hunger more.

Hear to-day His calling voice ;

Come before His wrath shall swear 
Ye shall never enter there !

Jesus, to Thy table led, 
Now let every heart be fed 
With the true and living Bread. 

While in penitence we kneel, 
Thy sweet presence let us feel ; 
All Thy wondrous love reveal. 

When we taste the mystic wine, 
Of Thine outpoured blood the sign, 
Fill our hearts with love divine.

Till He' come we take the cup ;

And in the wine His blood, once shed 
From guilt to cleanse, to save from woe; 

Where falters sense, faith trusts His Word, 

And souls sincere receive the I^ord.
